Yes, one is marketed for gardens and the other is marketed for shrubs. Understand the ingredients, what you need, and what you don't need.
That said, I placed an order before this slickdeal was posted for 18 bags of Holly Tone and 6 bags of DR EARTH.
The NPK for this Dr. Earth tomato/herb fertilizer is 4-6-3 with 7.5% calcium.
For tomatoes, I personally prefer Espoma Tomato-Tone which is is 3-4-6 with 8% calcium.
Either way, notice that the ones for tomatoes have a lower ratio of Nitrogen, and more calcium.
Holly Tone will give you lush, green, healthy-looking tomato plants with lots of leaves but less fruit (and the fruit you do get could be more prone to blossom end rot).
The base of all the Espoma products is very similar. This Holly has a NPK of 4-3-4, so is a little higher in nitrogen than what would be ideal for fruit/vegetable production, but it is also mostly slow release and should be fine.
The part about this being for Acid loving plants is the higher amount of Sulfer contained. There are plenty of vegetables that will benefit from this, such as Tomatoes for flavor & blueberries are low PH loving crop. While I wouldn't feed the tomatoes this all season, as it possible could drop the pH a bit too much for optimal growth, other crops will take it all season, such as blueberries.
Unless you can get your fertilizer this cheap all the time, I'd save the Espoma/organic for crops, and would use cheaper synthetic on my shrubs.
